So I want to shout out a  HUGE thank you to all my friends , through Church and old work associates as well as certain neighbors . And of course my family.. I have the best people in my life !
 They are always offering support and cheers and at times a shoulder to laugh or cry on.
You all know how important you are and I love you all for everything..
And my amazing husband.. WOW,,. can't even start with him  .. I am SO blessed  xoxoxo

So ,  this is just a SIMPLE THANK YOU !!


 

It seems that when the "ER" months are here,, September , October , November, and December
People get both anxious and more friendly.. if that makes any sense :-)
Anxious for the fact that the Christmas season is just around the corner and also excited that maybe family you have not seen for a few months will be at the Thanksgiving table to share old and new stories. Meet new additions to family and talk about the ones no longer there. Such a wild flow of emotions from all sides. 
At our booth on the weekend, the "season" was brought up a couple times, one was a young lady that will not have her father with her for the first time this year , and the other was an older gentlemen that was going to be able to see his son after  2 tours in Iraq. Tears for both , and both so different. 
 
I have been making making gift shrink wrap boxes and other items as special requests as well as for our  booth and I can't help but think of some of my family that no longer is with us. Makes you REALLY appreciate all that "family" means and all that it is about, good, bad and indifferent. 
I hope and pray at the beginning of this "season",, and all through the "ER" months, that they are just as SIMPLE as they can be.. 

Well, it is my Monday, meaning that I am at the Super flea Market. I look up and see my son-in-law with 2 of my granddaughters.. What a special surprise to see them. Little Evy played "store" with my inventory sheet while hiding dimes under one of the tablecloths.. her precious little left hand holding this enormous  pen writing a special note to Grandpa and Ma'ma not to forget the eggs and peanut butter and ice ( her store list ) .... thanks to Brian for bringing 2 angels to brighten up my day. And Adley feeling the fan on her chunky little cheeks saying mamamama,, dadaddad and HI.. 
It truly is  THE SIMPLE THINGS :-)
